Movies Seen:
3:10 To Yuma-------Excellent. I've never been huge on westerns but this was just incredible.
The Sentinel-----Better than expected, a lot of twists and turns, a good solid thriller.
The Devil and Daniel Johnston-----Aaron said it best: "How is this guy different than any other creative person who had shitty parents and took drugs?". I think the documentarians could have made any subject interesting. I loved the guy's drawings and some lyrics were cool but his singing voice was horrendous. Of course Austin is the town that launched Edie Brickell. Go figure.
The biggest revelation was that ubiquitous frog with the two eye stems I see on shirts all the time was one of his.
I felt bad for his father, his mom was just a bitch.
Cassanova-----Charming movie. Good fun! How he could have gone after the redhead in leiu of the blonde is beyond me though.
Candy----Another Heath Ledger movie. A very clear depiction of addiction. Painful to watch, but very good at the same time.
The Marine---- complete and utter crap, couldn't even watch five minutes worth.
Christmas with the Kranks----- couldn't get into it. Jamie Lee Curtis' character was such a whiny bitch. If someone offered me a $6,000 cruise I don't think I'd be bitching about it.
Off The Black---- really good, but Nick Nolte playing an alcoholic, what a stretch! It was good but you could pretty much see the ending a mile off.
Saw IV ----LOVED IT! It is amazing that they can keep turning out these movies and keep it so fresh and believable.
Failure to Launch----VERY cute, no brainer and holy cow was Zoey Dechanel freaking hot!!
You Me, and Dupree----see above. Same thing only with Owen Wilson.
Blood Diamonds----very good, very intense
Pollack-----loved the visuals but the story didn't do much for me.
Before Sunrise-----yeah, it was way too talk-y and Ethan Hawke came off as a major douche but for some reason I really liked this film. I had seen Before Sunset before this and didn't get much out of it, having not seen this one first.
Idiocracy-----BEST COMEDY OF THE YEAR!!!
